Starting to Eat Again!

Image
The day has come! I don't have to only have liquids and protein shakes anymore! So far, I have tried cottage cheese (about 4-5 bites), sugar free applesauce (4 bites), pureed banana, and finally for dinner tonight I made 1 scrambled egg with cheese! I was so happy to take my bites. Of course I took it slow and the bites took about 30 minutes, but I didn't over-eat and it was wonderful! Still having problems with my legs. Doctor and surgeon who each saw me today agreed it is most likely slight nerve damage, or pinched nerve. Got some new meds and I'm hoping it calms down soon. Last night I couldn't lay down longer than a couple hours until it hurt too much and I walked around the house for a while. Oh well, extra steps. I found out that I lost another 7 lbs since the surgery last week! I know these first 6 months will be critical to how my healthy journey will progress. So ready to keep feeling better over the next month and start finding ways to exercise and keep ...

Starting a new Path

Image
Ok. I'm new to this whole blog thing, but I want to record my journey towards becoming healthier. So, a bit about me. I am currently 40 years old. I have been fluffy for the majority of my life at different levels, but I was 365lbs and could never keep the weight off. So after speaking to many friends who have had weight loss surgeries, I decided it was time for me. I am a hard working husband. My wife blesses me by being a homeschool Mom for our 3 kiddos. I have an 11 year old daughter, 6 year old daughter, and a 3 year old son who mean the world to me. I want to get healthy and live longer for myself and my family. I decided on the Gastric Bypass surgery for myself. Some of my friends have had the sleeve and I was really leaning that way, but my doctor explained how the bypass is better for people who have acid reflux issues. So, like I said before, I was 365 lbs. I had to start a liver reduction diet 2 weeks before surgery. The liver reduction diet is HARD. I mean, an...

Use Your Tools- 3 Weeks Post Opp

Use Your Tools. This sounds like a cliché, but seriously, do some research and find the tools you need. This will make a huge difference in starting to get healthy and continuing to evolve into the person you want to become. First off, check out the  Bariatric app . I have been using this app since pre-surgery. It truly is a great app. It allows me to keep track of so many important things. It can track my weight loss, daily Protein intake, ounces of water drank, inches lost, use a journal, log everything you eat throughout the day, set reminder alarms for taking meds, and even will link to Fitbit. Get a  Fitbit . Really. I never thought that I would get one. But I LOVE it now. Don't get me wrong, some may be fine with their smart watches. I work in the wireless biz, and would love to sell you any type of smart watch, but I personally believe that those work best for text, phone calls, and notifications. For accurate step counts and reminders of getting your steps in...
